这一组合产品面向面临预算和资源限制的安全网机构，包括农村医院、联邦合格医疗中心（FQHCs）、州立医院、部落医疗组织和小型门诊机构。
该集成捆绑包将三种不同的临床决策支持和用药安全工具整合为单一的采购、实施和支持模式。
在 Epic 内的原生集成消除了传统的独立软件测试和验证需求，减轻了内部临床信息学和 IT 团队的工作负担。
简化的采购框架为药物智能、循证决策支持和患者教育资源创建了单一的成本中心。
Wolters Kluwer 与 Epic 为服务不足的医疗系统统一临床决策支持农村医院、联邦合格医疗中心（FQHCs）、部落医疗服务提供者和社区医疗系统在尝试采购和部署顶级临床决策支持（CDS）平台时，经常遇到巨大的财务和行政障碍。虽然大型学术医疗中心通常将复杂的多供应商临床智能工具整合到其电子健康记录（EHR）中，但较小的机构往往受到分散的供应商合同、独立的成本中心以及有限的内部 IT 验证第三方独立软件能力的制约。
为了消除采购摩擦并加速安全网提供者的价值实现时间，Wolters Kluwer Health 已与 Epic 合作，提供统一的临床内容解决方案。通过将 UpToDate Lexidrug、Medi-Span 和 UpToDate Patient Education 打包为 Epic 工作流中预先验证的产品，这一合作为资源受限的医疗机构提供了对企业级临床决策支持的简化访问。
这一统一产品将三个核心 Wolters Kluwer 健康解决方案直接集成到 Epic 的原生用户界面中：
UpToDate Lexidrug（药物参考支持）：直接在医嘱工作流中提供可操作的循证药物参考内容和临床咨询指南，以指导处方、剂量和给药决策。
Medi-Span（嵌入式用药安全数据）：作为底层用药数据主干，实时筛查医嘱中的药物相互作用、剂量范围适当性和重复治疗警报，以预防不良药物事件。
UpToDate Patient Education：提供个性化的多语言患者宣传页和出院指导，以促进用药依从性并支持护理过渡。
预验证的 Epic 工作流：由于解决方案在现有 Epic 环境中原生运行，安全网机构无需进行大量的本地 IT 测试、验证周期和持续的维护开销。
“为农村和服务不足人群提供服务的医疗机构需要获得与更广泛医疗生态系统相同的循证资源，但往往面临重大的财务和运营障碍，”Wolters Kluwer Health 临床决策支持和提供者解决方案高级副总裁兼总经理 Yaw Fellin 表示。“结果是更快地上线、降低管理复杂性以及可信赖解决方案的单一成本中心。”
What You Should Know
Wolters Kluwer Health has collaborated with Epic to offer an integrated suite combining UpToDate Lexidrug Medi-Span, and UpToDate Patient Education directly within Epic EHR workflows.
The combined offering targets safety-net institutions facing budget and resource constraints, including rural hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), state hospitals, tribal healthcare organizations, and small ambulatory practices.
The integrated bundle consolidates three distinct clinical decision support and medication safety tools into a single procurement, implementation, and support model.
Native integration within Epic eliminates traditional standalone software testing and validation demands, reducing workload for internal clinical informatics and IT teams.
The simplified procurement framework creates a single cost center for medication intelligence, evidence-based decision support, and patient education resources.
Wolters Kluwer and Epic Unify Clinical Decision Support for Underserved Health Systems Rural hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), tribal healthcare providers, and community health systems frequently encounter substantial financial and administrative barriers when attempting to procure and deploy top-tier clinical decision support (CDS) platforms. While large academic medical centers routinely integrate complex, multi-vendor clinical intelligence tools into their electronic health records (EHR), smaller institutions are often constrained by fragmented vendor contracts, separate cost centers, and limited internal IT capacity to validate standalone third-party software.
To eliminate procurement friction and accelerate time-to-value for safety-net providers, Wolters Kluwer Health has partnered with Epic to offer a unified clinical content solution. By packaging UpToDate Lexidrug, Medi-Span, and UpToDate Patient Education into a single, pre-validated offering within Epic workflows, the collaboration provides resource-constrained healthcare organizations streamlined access to enterprise-grade clinical decision support.
The unified offering integrates three core Wolters Kluwer health solutions directly into Epic’s native user interface:
UpToDate Lexidrug (Referential Drug Support):
Delivers actionable, evidence-based drug referential content and clinical consult guides directly within ordering workflows to guide prescribing, dosing, and administration decisions.
Medi-Span (Embedded Medication Safety Data):
Functions as the underlying medication data backbone, screening orders in real time for drug-drug interactions, dose range appropriateness, and duplicate therapy alerts to prevent adverse drug events.
UpToDate Patient Education:
Provides individualized, multi-lingual patient leaflets and discharge instructions to drive medication adherence and support care transitions.
Pre-Validated Epic Workflows:
Because the solutions operate natively within existing Epic environments, safety-net institutions bypass extensive local IT testing, validation cycles, and ongoing maintenance overhead.
“Healthcare organizations serving rural and underserved populations need access to the same evidence-based resources used across the broader healthcare ecosystem, but often face significant financial and operational barriers,” stated Yaw Fellin, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Clinical Decision Support and Provider Solutions at Wolters Kluwer Health. “The result is faster onboarding, reduced administrative complexity and a single cost center for trusted solutions.” Reader Interactions
